The Americans are in panic as they watch the shrinking of their Empire. They are hell bent to keep their Empire, their world dominance, to write the rules for the world, to control the world. Their main rivals today are the Chinese and the Russians, two superpowers that have the means to dismantle their Empire.
Singapore plays a very important role in their game plan to contain China, to choke off China's trade route. China is the biggest trading country in the world and depends heavily on freedom of navigation, especially the South China Sea and the Straits of Malacca. 90% of China's ships pass through the South China Sea and the Malacca Strait. Only a fraction of America's trade passes through these two waterways.
The American's talk about protecting freedom of navigation in the South China Sea and the Malacca Strait are blatant lies. They are talking about controlling the Malacca and Singapore Straits, and also the South China Sea to choke China's maritime trade routes, to cripple the growth of China. China has always been threatened by the Americans controlling the Singapore and the Malacca Straits and has developed alternative trade routes through Central Asia, through BRI and through ports in Pakistan and Myanmar, with the possibility of cutting the Kra Isthmus. Freedom of navigation is vital to China's growth and prosperity. Freedom of navigation is the fake excuse of the Americans to choke China.
China is the victim of American aggression and seeking to free itself from the American clutches, to keep the water ways free from American control. Only fools would believe in the American lies that their warships are here to protect freedom of navigation. Singapore is America's prized possession, with military facilities to support American military operation and the ability to choke China.
The latest developments like Lawrence Wong visiting China first instead of America, and Hsien Loong talking about the world minus America are being scrutinised and studied carefully by the Americans. The Americans cannot afford to lose control of Singapore. They have no other reliable friends in the region. The Pinoys and Indians are fair weather friends, unpredictable and opportunistic. Philippines can turn friendly to China again if Marcos Jr loses power. India thinks it is another superpower and very difficult to control.
By the way, the Americans know that Marcos would not last his term and is frantically trying to cook a crisis for Marcos to declare martial law and rule for life. The Indians are now roped in to provoke China to fire the first shot. If not, the Americans or Pinoys might create a false flag incident, to shoot at their Pinoy soldiers, kill one of them for Marcos to declare martial law. This is going to happen very soon, at latest, before the end of Marcos' term. China is aware of the evil American and Marcos' plan and would not to them the favour.
Losing control of a friendly Singapore would overturn the apple cart of the Americans. If there is any cue that Singapore is tilting towards China, it is within expectation that the Americans would act to preempt such an eventuality. This is cause for the Americans to conduct a regime change. The Americans are very suspicious and edgy and would take immediate actions if they sense that there is such a change.
Singapore's leadership is acutely aware of this possibility and has been carefully balancing its relationships with China and the US, claiming to chart a neutral course, but in reality a pro American policy. This pro American slant in Singapore's position is likely to continue for a long while unless Trump and his clowns become mad and do the darndest thing. Singapore has to be very careful about what the Americans think. When the Americans are uncomfortable or suspicious, their only option is regime change.
Are the Americans thinking of a regime change in Singapore and already starting their recruiting campaign? Who would the Americans be working on if they have such a plan?
